Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1417: Divine Turtle Technique

Wen Yan also had a battle beast that ranked even higher on the country rankings than Little Luo Zhen—his giant turtle, Thousand Years.

However, 80% of its combat power was in the water. Aside from its freakish defensive capabilities, it wasn’t particularly useful on land.

So this time, Wen Yan had left it in a river near Thousand Beast Villa, letting it hunt on its own. As a level eight creature, the giant turtle faced no danger in a small lake.

Wen Yan’s own abilities were also quite formidable. His battle beast was more of a means to control the region where Pin Palace was located.

After all, that area was dominated by vast bodies of water.

Wen Yan had a tough fight facing an eight-star battle beast equipped with an eight-piece set,

At this level, battle beasts naturally had many talent skills, and with the added abilities of the beast equipment, Little Luo Zhen’s techniques were endless, causing Wen Yan significant trouble.

He tried attacking Qin Ru, but the leader of Restoring Hua Mountain was incredibly tough in his petrified state. Wen Yan couldn’t break through his defense.

Wen Yan had no choice but to abandon that plan as Little Luo Zhen attacked him relentlessly.

It had to be admitted—Little Luo Zhen was truly strong. Wen Yan had to exert every ounce of his strength to suppress the creature barely. Just as he was about to deliver the killing blow, the space shifted, and he was moved out, allowing Qin Ru and Little Luo Zhen to escape.
Then came the second thing that left him frustrated.

He encountered Deacon Water—and she was in the middle of unleashing her ultimate move.

Earlier, while being pressured by Kim Jongyuan, Deacon Water decided to use her trump card— Water Goddess!

This was the most powerful job ability at the moment.

Deacon Water didn’t use this ability often for two reasons. First, its cooldown was excruciatingly long—so long that it left her in despair. Her interest in items that reduced skill cooldowns stemmed from her desire to shorten this ability’s ten-month cooldown.

Second, this ability came with a side effect.

It would temporarily lower her evolution level by one star for five hours.

For someone who had held a high position and whose evolution level had always been at the forefront of the country—or even the entire planet—losing a level, even temporarily, was both frustrating and dangerous.

Especially now, in this constantly shifting space where she was alone. Her safety would be a significant concern if her level dropped to seven stars.

But Deacon Water had no choice. She had to do this. It wasn’t that she lacked other means of survival or couldn’t continue fighting Kim Jongyuan. Rather, she wanted to escape before the Spatitu Space collapsed.

Guancheng Chen had told her that killing her opponent was the only way out. Eliminating Kim Jongyuan quickly was her only option.

Thus, she used the ability Water Goddess.

A silver light emanated from within her, lifting her into the air. Her long hair floated, her robes billowed, and an overwhelming aura radiated from her.

The entire space trembled as a result.

If the Water Goddess weren’t so powerful, it wouldn’t have such a long cooldown or severe side effects.

A silver energy ball, seemingly wrapped in lightning, appeared before Deacon Water, hovering at her abdomen. Her hands floated on either side of the energy ball, and as it grew in size, she slowly spread her arms. s̩

Even Deacon Water’s eyes and skin had turned completely silver at this moment.

At a certain point, the Deacon Water let out a sharp cry and thrust her hands outward. The lightning-wrapped energy ball shot forward.

It moved incredibly fast, almost teleporting while leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

But just as the energy ball flew out, her opponent changed. Kim Jongyuan and the Door Gods were gone, and the shield flying toward her had vanished. In their place stood the traitor, Wen Yan!

This was why Wen Yan was frustrated. He could not capitalize on his advantage to kill Qin Ru and Little Luo Zhen, and after being moved, he now faced an energy ball that made his hair stand on its ends.

In a panic, Wen Yan could only use his strongest defensive ability.

Divine Turtle Technique—Turtle Shell Armor!

All his equipment exploded instantly, transforming into a massive turtle shell that enveloped him.

This ability was similar to Jiu Long and Jiu Bao’s skill, but unlike that one, which required the battle beast to be nearby, Wen Yan’s ability didn’t. It was more like him borrowing power.

Don’t underestimate this instant ability. It used all his equipment and energy to create the turtle shell, which had incredibly strong defensive capabilities.

High-level evolved each had life-saving abilities. For example, Ye Zhongming had his second life and the elemental spirits. Wen Yan had his own—Turtle Shell Armor, which was his emergency defense.

The turtle shell collided with the lightning energy ball, producing an effect similar to a powerful explosion.

The shockwave rippled through the entire space. Deacon Water, who was still in mid-air, was sent flying, crashing hard to the ground. Her once-graceful, goddess-like image was instantly shattered.

Wen Yan didn’t fare much better. Before the turtle shell shattered, it slammed into him, sending him tumbling backward like a ball. He endured the tremendous impact. After the shell broke, most of the fragments pierced his unprotected body, soaking every inch of his skin in blood.

Both of them stood up immediately and stared at each other.

He wasn’t supposed to fight her, and she wasn’t trying to kill him!

Yet, right from the start, the two had engaged in the most intense collision!

One had their evolution level reduced to seven stars, while the other had all their equipment, except for their space ring, shattered and was now severely injured.

This chaotic confrontation left both of them deeply frustrated.

But at this point, both Deacon Water and Wen Yan knew they couldn’t back down. The enmity that had been ignited wouldn’t disappear just because they stopped.

Moreover, who knew what would happen to the space next? Escaping sooner was undoubtedly better than escaping later.

Wen Yan pulled out two potions from his space ring and drank them. He ignored the turtle shell fragments embedded in his body as he silently worked to recover from his injuries.

Deacon Water was fully aware of her own situation. She emerged from the Water Goddess state. She pulled out two short military daggers and tossed a transparent water bag at her feet. With a stab of her daggers, the bag burst, and a pool of water soaked her feet. Steam began to rise, enveloping her body.
